    Question Construction a Golden Rectangle

    This Challenge allegedly has deep connections to art, geometry and our psyche.

    The Golden Ratio is calculated to be 1.618::1.

    It is therefore possible to construct the blue Golden Rectangle from this knowledge, as shown.

    In this Challenge, I wish you to uncover a simpler construction of the Golden Rectangle.
